作者探索了因男性伴侣暴力而被认定为异性伴侣的异性伴侣的依恋动态。在半结构化访谈的基础上，参与者被评估依恋取向。基于对访谈的主题分析，确定了在这些关系中调节距离的两种策略：追求和疏远。伴侣的辱骂行为似乎常常服务于其中一种依恋策略。作为一种追捕策略，暴力迫使一方专注于另一方，而作为一种疏远策略，当犯罪者被靠近得太近，并且认为没有其他逃脱或自我保护的手段时，暴力会将另一方推开。为了理解个体虐待行为的背景，作者考虑了两个伴侣的依恋取向之间的相互作用，因为他们试图调节他们的情感和身体接近。研究结果突出了亲密暴力的关系基础。
The authors explored the attachment dynamics of heterosexual couples identified for male partner violence. Based on semistructured interviews, participants were assessed for attachment orientations. Based on a thematic analysis of the interviews, two strategies for regulating distance within these relationships were identified: pursuit and distancing. Partners' abusive acts often appeared to serve one of these attachment strategies. As a pursuit strategy, violence forced one partner to focus on the other, and as a distancing strategy, violence served to push a partner back when the perpetrator had been approached too closely and perceived no other means of escape or self-protection. To understand the context in which individuals acted abusively, the authors considered the interaction between the attachment orientations of both partners as they sought to regulate their emotional and physical proximity. Findings highlight the relational basis of intimate violence.
